My family is blessed by Melissa's presence in our life. She started working with my 80 year old Mom (who lives with MS and MCI) just over a year ago. Although we hired her as a companion to provide socialization and homemaker help, what she has become is my Mom's greatest life champion. Melissa's generous, thoughtful, and deeply caring approach empowers her to truly live her best possible life. Melissa understand my Mom's values, strengths, and what brings her joy. She helps Mom stay connected to all the things that bring her meaning and purpose - gardening, church, live music and staying "beatified" at the salon. Melissa's support is truly soup to nuts! She does everything from helping Mom make task lists to grocery shopping to meal prep to hair coloring to personal organization and so on... Melissa is prompt, professional, fun, organized and anticipates Mom's needs while not "over caring." There is not enough room to rave about her here!
